Jenna Bush Hager has been a constant presence on Today with Jenna & Friends, but recently, fans noticed something different—she hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring. Rumors started to swirl, with some speculating that her 17-year marriage to Henry Chase Hager might be in trouble. But in a heartfelt and candid moment on February 26’s episode of her show, Jenna set the record straight and revealed the truth behind her missing ring.

As it turns out, there’s no need for concern—Jenna and Henry are still very happily married. The reason behind her missing wedding ring isn’t a romantic breakdown; it’s much simpler and a bit more comical. Jenna explained that she had recently broken her finger, which made it impossible for her to wear her ring.

“I’m not wearing one now because I broke my finger,” Jenna shared on the show, dismissing any rumors of marital discord. “But don’t worry, I’ve seen some of the comments, Henry and I are still very happily married.”

Fans were undoubtedly relieved to hear that the Bush Hager family is still going strong. However, this isn’t the first time Jenna has had an issue with her wedding ring—her history with rings seems to come with a bit of drama, and it’s clear that Jenna’s candid personality has led to some entertaining mishaps.

The First Ring Fiasco: A Sapphire Disaster

Jenna took the opportunity to look back on a previous ring-related incident, which turned out to be a true test of her marriage. This time, the culprit wasn’t a broken finger—it was her own wild behavior at a party that led to a priceless piece of jewelry going missing.

In the 2019 episode, she recalled an unforgettable night at Savannah Guthrie’s 50th birthday party. Jenna, always known for her fun-loving spirit, explained that she’d indulged a bit too much in the party atmosphere. She had stayed later than most, even after Henry left to head home for the night. But the next morning, Jenna was faced with a major predicament.

“I woke up the next morning, I look down at my engagement ring and one of the stones was gone,” Jenna said, recalling the moment of panic. The missing sapphire, a piece that once belonged to Henry’s grandmother, had vanished without a trace.

The situation only grew more complicated when Jenna realized that she was already “on thin ice” from her “wild behavior.” “I was already a little bit on thin ice from my wild behavior,” she admitted. “So, I looked down and I’m like, ‘Oh no, do I tell him this now or do I wait?’”

Ultimately, Jenna confessed to Henry about losing the sapphire. She recounted saying to him, “Honey, you know, I know I lost a little bit of dignity last night. I also lost your grandmother’s sapphire.”

Jenna’s honesty, though, seemed to work in her favor. Despite the loss of the precious stone, Henry remained understanding and forgave her for the mishap. “My mom calls him a ‘saint,’” Jenna joked, adding with a smile, “Which is really just saying that I’m difficult to be with.”

A Marriage Built on Tolerance and Humor

Despite these mishaps, one thing remains clear: Jenna and Henry’s relationship is built on a foundation of love, tolerance, and humor. Jenna’s willingness to openly share these personal, and at times awkward, stories highlights the importance of communication and laughter in her marriage.

Henry’s reaction to both ring incidents shows his forgiving nature, which Jenna herself describes as saint-like. “He’s a tolerant person,” Jenna acknowledged, with a touch of humor, making it clear that while things might not always go perfectly, they navigate challenges together.

Their dynamic is a reminder of how relationships evolve and endure over time. Whether dealing with the loss of a precious family heirloom or a broken finger, the Bush Hager family continues to face life’s ups and downs with grace, humor, and plenty of love.
